yes sir, not expert but knows a little. The numbers refer to the viscocity of the oil, the lower the number the thinner the oil. The first number when the oil is cold, the 2nd when it's hot. Notice it defies convetional thnking, engine oil gets thicker when it is hotter. As u would imagine, the thinner the oil, the less resistance to the engine. But it's Important that the oil film does not break during high rpm, otherwise there will be no protection for the engine

Since last time tested the glass vinyl with Danny, we found the quality and outlook not good enough compare with our existed E60 trim in matte black winyl, I got Danny's info from others F10 forum, http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=555659 which hard for me to provide comments, it's because without the close look photos.
When do you have time to do mine? Any chance for this week? Thanks in advance.

Sorry for I can't make it without take out the trims first. Would you mind to call that F10 guy up to view the quality by naked eye first. Photos - to be honest, hard to judge.
